Battleborn Gets Two New Hulking Additions To Its Roster
Today Gearbox Software unveiled two new characters in Battleborn's roster of fighters: Attikus and Galilea as well as a gameplay trailer for each of them. Both characters are presented as hulking powerhouses that use their melee abilities to control the battlefield.
Attikus is a massive horned monster with a giant robotic arm capable of knocking the daylights out of his foes. The trailer for him shows off a little over a minute of footage featuring the great beast whirling about with his fists in every direction, clobbering enemies:
Galilea isn't as gigantic as Attikus but she's equipped with impressive looking armor and a big sword (also, her full title is "Galilea, Wrath Of The Bliss" so that's cool). Like Attikus, she has a gameplay trailer showing some of the tricks you can pull off while playing as her:
Battleborn is due out on May 3 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can check out our in-depth coverage of the game here.
Our Take
So far one of Battleborn's most appealing features is its roster of playable characters, all of them with interesting designs, and both Attikus and Galilea seem like solid additions.
